While observing the design you can see the flow feeling of the each brass lines and the whole design.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Drawing sketches of glass pieces are the first move of the project, then we prepared samples. Each glass forms are blowed seperately by glass masters. On the top of glass bulbs there are two holes made for connection system to join two seperate pieces of design. Later by the help of special molds, brass lines are formed and connected to the blowed glass bulbs. Artizen has a classic chandelier form and the flexibility to change shapes by just adjusting the lines up on the design. We create flexible brass lines for this feature. Inside of the brass tubes there are electric cables for finnishing.
